Dear Friend,
This is a report about you and your potentials as shown through your personal astrological signature or chart.
The date, time, and place you were born, or when an event was initiated, called the astrological signature, sets a
unique pattern of energy into time and space. There is potential within this pattern, and when that potential is
recognized, explained, and then used well, life flows much easier. It is important to recognize your inherent
strengths and then work to maximize these in whatever ways you choose to live your life. Doing this will make
you much happier than taking weak energies and trying to strengthen those.
You are unique as an individual. Capitalize on that uniqueness in ways which can bring fulfillment and happiness
into your life.
This report should accomplish two things for you. First, it identifies your inherent astrological strengths as shown
by the birth or event data provided; and next it explains the energy patterns associated with those strengths, while
offering you guidelines and commentary on how to use those well.
Time has qualities to it, and each moment of time is unique from all others. Your astrological signature in time
carries such uniqueness. This uniqueness is shown through how the planets and the personal sensitive points in a
chart interact. What makes this report unique is that the chart placements are not considered one-on-one, but the
geometric layout of the planet and point patterns are examined for places of power and places of weakness.
Once assessed, these are then sorted from strong to weak and commentary on the top such strong interactions
are given in the conversational paragraphs provided.
The chart evaluation is done through a technique I pioneered called the "Midpoint Weighting Analysis", or
MWA. Midpoints are the combination of two planets or points, and they lie on an axis across the chart, not as a
single point in space. Midpoints are the middle point between pairings. The MWA is both a technique and a
computer program. The technique takes the geometric pattern within a chart and analyzes this for strength and
weakness of qualities. The computer program then ranks these strengths and weaknesses. By identifying and
explaining the stronger midpoints, much about life can be clarified.
Why midpoints and not planets in signs or houses?
Interpretations of planets in signs or houses remains fairly one-dimensional. Interpretations of midpoints are multidimensional. Often a strong midpoint can be located into what appears to be an empty place in a chart. This is
not something that is visual -- it is a part of an energy pattern. Thus, by using midpoints, and midpoint
interpretations, you can get a clearer picture of your energy patterns and intended thrusts in life.
There are many reasons as to why a midpoint can be strong or weak. You may have chosen your astrological
signature because it represented a pattern of familiarity. Or, you may have chosen your astrological signature
because it promised certain new situations, or having to revisit older unresolved situations. Or, you may simply
have chosen the first available opportunity for an energy pattern without even realizing that you had choices, and
thus wound up with a set of energies which are not so familiar or comfortable. Whatever your choices or
reasonings, you are living in a fixed astrological energy pattern. Now it is your destiny, your obligation to learn
how to use these energy patterns wisely.
There is no significance to the sequential order of these interpretations. All are equally important. They represent
your energy patterns. Read, ponder on them, and then put these to use in your life in the best ways you are able
to do.

Sun/Jupiter

The Sun/Jupiter Midpoint strong by MWA:
An important idea here is the building of confidence in self and self's abilities to achieve success in life. With this
combination strong there is an inner call to forge ahead with personal goals and ideas, somehow knowing that
even if the present situation contains serious obstacles that these can be overcome with a combination of hard
work and good luck. Often a series of fortunate circumstances come together to help you along the way.
Somehow there are the right people or conditions which appear when needed to help you realize that "Yes!", you
can make it through despite the bleak or seemingly hopeless circumstances presently in view. It is through such
undertakings that you begin to gain confidence in self's innate abilities to plan, implement and then follow through
with important tasks in life.
Creating and understanding the importance of self and self's ideas is a part of this combination. Perhaps you start
out with much confidence, in which case there is a need to be careful of over-inflating your ego or sense of selfimportance. Or, perhaps you have a lack of self-confidence and need to start out with small undertakings,
seeking success in a step-by-step process which builds self-confidence and thus allowing you to take on more
and more difficult attempts to prove that you have worthy ideas and ambitions. Whatever your path or thrust, this
combination asks you to take the initial step, to have confidence that somehow things can work out if you plan
and allow for contingencies. Sometimes you may fail, and such failures may even be spectacular ones, but even in
failure you should learn much about what works for you personally and what does not work.
There is little that is small about working with this combination. The call here is for viewing the larger picture in life
and going for the more important goals and prizes. Thinking small may get you off to one start, but along the way
you should raise your goals and see what lies beyond your initial sense of completion. There can be a larger set
of accomplishments, perhaps an expansion of your ideas, which if seen in more comprehensive and extended
ways could show you goals and possibilities which can be achievable. Thus, even if your thinking and ideas start
out small, take the time along the way to look at the bigger picture of what is happening, because there should be
opportunities to reach beyond initial ideas for some broader successes.
There should be an interest in the trappings of power, including the accumulation of professional or educational
awards or titles. These can become important identifications of self which others would recognize, thus helping
them to see that there is worth and importance to the one which holds or has achieved these honors. However,
make sure that such accomplishments or certifications are honestly obtained, because if they are not then the
embarrassment or shame when shortcomings are revealed can cause setbacks. It is necessary to keep an honest
and open-hearted approach to life.

Mars/Neptune
The Mars/Neptune Midpoint strong by MWA:
This combination helps you see and envision a future course of action and then move boldly along to effect this
purpose. Your approaches to doing this may be so subtle that others probably will not be aware that you are
even moving along in a determined direction. Yet, you are able to see, dream and follow an inner guidance. Your
great sense of inner guidance or knowing helps you understand that the plans and courses being followed are
important for reasons known mostly to you. This guidance helps you grow, become, and complete the person
you inwardly want to be. Despite criticism, despite setbacks, despite others arguing against you, you can
continue and complete.
There may be troubling complications caused by accidents, diseases, and/or internal or external battles. These
may bring serious harm to the physical body, but rarely serious enough to deter you from bringing the visions you
have to fulfillment. You will probably continue to struggle on despite any illness or handicap encountered.
Another lesson here is learning about dissolving anger which has accumulated through past experiences. Anger
can be difficult to overcome, especially if it is emotionally based and deep seated. Yet through the energy of this
combination you are able, and in fact should, look at any deep seated anger, imposed anger, or irritations, and
see a more constructive way of working these through self so that overall they do not cause inner psychological
blockages which impede spiritual growth or earthly progress.
Also here is energy to propel your spiritual growth, and often helping this is an enhanced psychic ability and
insight. This ability adds awareness about life and the people around in ways which others can not comprehend.
You may have active dreams, some of them troubling, you may hear voices, or you may just have a firm inner
sense of which is the best course of action to effect movement and progress. Whatever form the ethereally-based
4
information takes, it is there for you to use, and it is also up to you to recognize what it is, how it works, and how
best to use it for furthering personal growth.
This combination helps make you a good bluffer, but then you may not always see who is a friend and who is a
foe. You are able to put up a good front, even when you are unsure, or perhaps at a physical low point, to carry
through with your actions. You may lose a struggle, but probably will win the battle. Your innate ability to bring
the best out in people who are there to help you is a great asset. You do this by listening to your guidance, and
then helping them make the decisions you had envisioned prior for them to make.
Self destruction through drugs or detrimental social actions is possible. The choice is always yours as to how you
wish to implement the energies which are made available to you. Be aware that not every person around you will
be helpful or have your best interests in mind.

Neptune/Mean Node
The Neptune/Node Midpoint strong by MWA:
Many dreams and inspirations may come to you throughout life, but accessing these and trying to make meaning
out of them may not be so easy. This combination helps you to make the connection to dreams which may have
persisted in one form or another since early childhood, to whatever mental or physical world processes are
needed to bring such dreams into a more concrete reality. There can be tremendous inspiration in such emotional
feelings and indications, but accessing these and helping to define and construct ways in which they can come into
reality in a physical world way may not be so easy. This combination helps you become aware of these dreams
and possibilities, and at the same time offers you insights into creating a physical reality from them which can have
meaning for many others.
Times can arise when needs to re-assess the roles, meanings and connections behind your friends, associates or
obligations to enterprises. As these are examined and reviewed then the role of each needs to be thought out as
to whether they are helping or hindering various roles in life. Perhaps these ties or connections need
strengthening. Perhaps their intended roles require review or reassessment. Perhaps they need to be abandoned
entirely and new connections sought. Whatever the underlying reasons, this combination helps you make such
assessments while considering alternative possibilities.
There can come times when it is necessary to pull self into spaces where assessments about various situations of
life can be made. Religious practices call this "retreat", or taking the time in a structured way to simply be with
self and self's thoughts or ideas, to make sense of these. Withdrawing and reassessing life's situations can be
psychologically healthy, and when done at times and in ways which are constructive, may lead to many
breakthroughs along with increased clarity about personal or life direction and tendencies.
Any system or person is only as strong as their connecting links, or the physical, mental or emotional
interconnections which hold such together. When this combination is activated there is a call to carefully examine
such connecting pieces or linkages amongst associates or the interconnecting parts of systems to ensure that any
possibility of weakness, corrosion or decay is uncovered before future damage can arise. Often it is the little and
overlooked connections where assumptions are made about their reliability or functionality, while more
concentration is placed on the larger or more important components. While these larger components may do
well, the connections amongst them can present problems, and this combination asks that all such be considered
and reviewed.
Connections within chemical processes are highlighted here. Especially molecular interconnections which need to
be broken and then recombined, such as those in distilling or fractionating processes. The combination of
chemicals within the body, including the possible introduction of potentially poisonous substances which can bring
some mental relief from daily anxieties, needs to be assessed. Understanding how chemical substances react or
interconnect, both within the body, and also outside in commercial undertakings is a part of this combination.

Uranus/Pluto
The Uranus/Pluto Midpoint strong by MWA:
Urges to be and think differently from most others can be quite strong with this combination. Somehow you
receive insight into and then are able to understand processes and methods which are beyond most others
comprehension. There can be a tendency to get lost within the intricacies and implications of work, thought or
ideas, to the exclusion of almost anything else. Your dress and eating habits may become irregular, and you may
even neglect friends while inwardly you seem to undergo a transformation as you become the thought processes
which now seem to possess you. It is through such transformation, however, that you grow as a person,
eventually emerging, like the butterfly from its cocoon, to contribute something new to self or society.
The turnarounds you encounter in life may be internal, noticed only by self, or they may come to affect the lives of
most on earth. There is nothing easy within this combination. The pressure to find answers while digging can be
tremendous and unrelenting. Yet the internal pleasure derived from knowing that you can and are making
progress at resolving issues within self can also bring inner transformation and enlightenment. You may find
yourself involved with groups which open you to new ideas, only to have those ideas so change your life and
your intentions, that little else occupies your thoughts and existence for long periods of time. Then too, such
7
turnarounds can come and go quickly, even if the inner transformation is still shocking and startling.
You may find that you have to deal with much difficulty and criticism from powerful people within your society or
professional arena. These people may make life quite hard for you. Yet inner pressures persist to drive you to
complete whatever it is that you have embarked upon, and then present your revolutionary insights in simple yet
stark ways. There should be nothing complicated or complex when you are completed, as when you set your
mind and being to whatever it is that you wish to accomplish, you can do it despite any and all external pressures
or obstacles faced. The time for this may be a few seconds, or it may be years, but persist you will through to the
end.
You should have an innate understanding of electrical and/or mechanical processes; and may even have received
formal education in physics or engineering. Even without such formal education, you should have an innate ability
to see how such forces work and can be used for personal insights. You can become an inventor of note, even if
others think you quite eccentric, but such labels would probably not bother you as you would see such as giving
you the freedom to be yourself while pursuing interests which are important. An innate understanding of
mathematics and computational processes would help you, even if you have had no formal education in such.
Numbers, harmonies and the bonds or inter-connections amongst electrical or universal forces are such that they
can become clearer in your understanding than the psychological motivations of close personal friends.

Mercury/Jupiter
The Mercury/Jupiter Midpoint strong by MWA:
Putting thoughts and ideas together in ways which impress those listening with the soundness of logic and
approach is helped with this combination. There may be some formal or informal education and learning in the
background, or if there isn't, then perhaps there is the appearance of good education and wide study and read
due to the way expression of thought and delivery of communications comes forth. The delivery of information,
and the way words and ideas are put together seems to convince others that there is merit in your thinking or
words. These energies help convey an understanding of subject matter, even when speculating in the mind about
the subject being considered. There seems to be some authority or support from education or position in life
which lends credence to such ideas and thoughts. This helps those listening receive the communications with an
initial acceptance. When used wisely, this can be quite beneficial.
There should be a mental facility which shines forth in debates and discussions, especially on complicated or
learned matters. This flexibility of mind combines well with a verbal dexterity, allowing you to come up with just
the right philosophical approach and word combinations to help convince others that your ideas or positions are
correct. In formal debates this can be quite helpful, as others listening will tend to give credence to your approach
or arguments in various ways. This should extend to written communications as well as verbal communications.
There may be many long and scholarly books or communications putting your ideas forth in convincing ways.
There probably needs to be some awareness though of using too many words to produce the commentary.
Often, with this combination, there can be tricky and rapid mental maneuvers which twist words and logic around
to advantage. If used well this can become clever repartee; but if used for less than honest means, then swindles
and frauds may be promoted. This is a good combination for convincing others about your ideas or products,
and can be found with successful sales people, like those who use this to convince others about the soundness of
their ideas or products. When used to advantage, this combination can help convince others of almost anything or
any approach because it lends an aura of believability to ongoing communications and thinking.
This is an important combination for successfully arguing legal or religious theory or positions. There can also be
an interest in mathematics, logic and medicine with this strong. Usually ideas begin as speculations in the mind,
and then are expanded on, added in with convincing references and quotations, and then put forth in ways which
others find convincing. Thus logic and effective communications can be mixed. The downside here is that too
much speculation, along with not enough grounding, can produce long and windy communications or speeches
which become boring. There needs to be an awareness of when too much of a good thing reaches a point that
others stop listening. When prudence is coupled along with the generally well received communications of this
combination then many positive results can arise.

Venus/Mean Node
The Venus/Node Midpoint strong by MWA:
Cultivating ties amongst those who share similar interests with you, as well as the delight experienced within such
associations begins here. This combination helps you find and locate people who share your interests and
concerns. There should be pleasant interactions, exchanges of courtesies along with knowledge, and personal
encouragement to grow and develop within friendship and association. This may happen within a formal social
club, or it may simply be a gathering of like-minded people. Whatever the level of interaction there should be a
harmony felt within the togetherness, and pleasure derived from being with others who share similar interests.
There can be a focus on love within partnership. Love can take many forms, from appreciation of partner's
efforts and contributions, to physical love for gratification and pleasure. There should be a need for partners who
form a stronger bond than usual within the allied purpose. This strong bonding can help keep the partnership
10
stable and ongoing through difficult times. This feeling of cooperation and harmony, even through differences, can
go far in making and strengthening both new and old ties between you and others. These would be the friends
and/or associates who would stand by you through adversity; those who would come to your assistance in times
of difficulties. These should be the partners you can come to rely on, and vice-versa, as you would support your
partner in return.
Ties within the financial, art, music or fashion industry should be enhanced with this combination. There should be
an innate drive to associate with others who work in, or have ties to such industries. These ties may be to or
through governmental agencies which regulate these, or they may be through professional organizations which
have ties to social and/or civic programs. There should be an ease of moving through such circles, and also for
maintaining contacts amongst others who have interests in these arenas. The power of the collective can bring
opportunities beyond that of one or two.
There should be an attraction to beauty, perhaps an overemphasis on what constitutes beauty, how to achieve it,
and how to define it within your own interests. Having beautiful art objects, decorations, home, clothes, etc., can
become important. Keeping color and design balanced within personal spaces is also important. There should be
an interest in making your life more pleasant through the use of pleasant and relaxing spaces.
There can be a strong interest on what constitutes compatibility, love, enticement and/or gratification. This can
take on a driving force in life, causing much study, investigation, and effort. Ties to others who can help in such
investigations would be important. You may find yourself spending much time trying to understand the
psychology of attraction and compatibility. This may be an individual effort, or it may be an effort shared amongst
many co-workers, professional groups, and similar allies -- not all of whom may be local. Efforts at publishing
results, clarifying terms, etc., can take a large amount of effort, but this drive to define and clarify should be
strong.

Jupiter/MC
The Jupiter/Midheaven Midpoint strong by MWA:
Probably quite early in life you learn the importance of cultivating political and social ties to help you. Assessing
who can or who can not be helpful for your purposes is activated here. Others may call it luck in being in the right
place at the right time, or in meeting and captivating important people to help in life -- but this is more just a part
of just being you. The inner thoughts needed to cultivate social and political contacts, and keeping these contacts
aware of your personal interests should be strong. "The Old School Ties"; "The Family Name (or History)";
being involved in the "correct" social or community organizations, perhaps heading up a high-profile charity
function, athletic event or league -- these are typical of situations where you can both contribute to overall
humanitarian efforts while improving your name recognition and reputation within community and beyond.
There should be a good sense of what will or will not work for advertising and/or spreading the word about
professional or personal capabilities and interests. There should be an inner eye focused on promotional
opportunities, and seeing where the least amount of promotional effort can produce the maximum amount of
return. Without others being aware of what you have done, or what you are capable of doing, then much
opportunity in life can be lost. Losing such opportunity is not likely to be something that you would take lightly.
Important for you would be creating opportunities through social or political organizations, or charity functions, to
get better name and professional recognition. Working through others to achieve this should become an
important activity.
Usually an element of luck appears here, which can lead to beneficial connections and ties to others that help
advance your business and personal interests in more than ordinary ways. There is probably little within you
which thinks small, for the big picture of how to effect positive outcomes should be more to your liking. You may
publish papers, books or materials which not only bring recognition, but also financial success. Businesses with
this strong seem to have ways of choosing the right products and distribution means for increasing profitability.
The likelihood of big money being involved here is strong. Backers will come and they should support you
because they will somehow sense that you have the overall influence and drive to ensure success to your
undertakings.
One downside to this combination involves getting yourself spread too thin, or making too many promises, some
of which you may not be able to deliver. When this happens you may only disappoint a small number of people,
but nevertheless these people can and may tarnish your overall good reputation. Perhaps you will make some
minor legal infraction or misjudgment, which can get blown out of proportion, for which you then have to make
some social or governmental amends, like paying penalties, or perhaps even jail time. Handling yourself well
12
through such turmoil, you can endear many people to you with your social grace and ability to pull off a turnaround even under adverse circumstances.

Jupiter/Mean Node
The Jupiter/Node Midpoint strong by MWA:
Accessibility to people and their talents is an important key here. This combination helps open doors for you in
locating just the right people to help or those who can supply information. This combination brings a talent for
finding not only the people you need for a task, but also opens accessibility to them. The people should be
available when you need them, and this is a bonus. You should have much luck with locating and finding answers
13
to questions, opening doors and channels to pathways which are important, and starting interchanges of contacts
and information which can prove important.
At meetings when asked to present your opinions and ideas, this combination can help others be more
sympathetic to your approaches and ideas. Your counsel can be generally well received. New partnerships or
alliances can be formed due to your incentives and suggestions. You can seem to have a way of working well
with people of different cultures, learning languages and customs, being up to date on foreign interests, being
ready to travel at a moment notice, etc. This should be well noticed by the people for whom you work, and can
be an admired trait. Your ability to put strangers at ease when they are in new situations can be most helpful.
Searching for ideal relationships in business and romance can occupy a large amount of your time. You should be
able to amass a large number of contacts amongst a variety of people, so that when you or someone wants or
needs to know who can do what, you often are the person they are referred to as a starting point for who to
contact first. You can even make the initial contacts, opening doors in ways that others may not be able to do.
Your knowledge of connections, abilities, and contacts serves as a fortunate opportunity for you to increase your
reputation and acumen.
When adverse situations of life are encountered your ability to draw on the resources of others can help you
greatly. Despite adversity you can usually come out well in such situations. You may feel pessimism, but helping
to wipe this pessimistic feeling away from you is the potential help available from your many channels and
contacts. You may have a destined link with being able to reach just the right people during your times of need,
and thus come out well despite what might have seemed like a misfortune.
You may find interests in philosophy, education, religion and/or religious thought. You can find yourself going
through many diverse ideas in order to locate one that is right for you. Finding one, testing it, growing beyond it,
and then locating another can occupy large parts of life. This searching becomes a learning and growing process.
Part of your destiny is to acquire knowledge as well as friends and contacts, and learning diverse approaches and
thoughts is a part of this. Perhaps you will stick with one set, maybe go through several. Whatever happens this
can become an important part of life.

Mercury/Venus
The Mercury/Venus Midpoint strong by MWA:
This combination adds charm and grace to the way you express your thoughts and ideas while conversing or
conveying information. The way thoughts tend to come out usually pleases other people. Others can feel charm
and respect emanating from you. This can be very helpful when trying to convince others of your position or
status on events or matters, as the tendency for others would be to be charmed by your believable presentations.
There generally is a beauty, softness and attraction in the way your speech is received by others. The sound of
your voice, the way you pronounce your words, and the emphasis you add to your diction is usually well
received. You should have a way of turning on the charm which others find comforting and acceptable. You just
seem to have an innate way of mixing the sounds and the combinations of words used into sequences which
others find attractive and enticing.
Your method of thinking is rapid and can border on devious. You should have considerable confidence in your
ability to take almost any situation and turn it around to your satisfaction. You probably grasp implications and
nuances of what is happening around you quite quickly. There generally is a focus on making money and creating
business and commercial situations where you can negotiate in confidence. You should have a good grasp of
how to manipulate others around to seeing and adopting your views. There may even be some pleasure taken in
manipulating others and situations, and you can become well known as performer and manipulator.
Ever aware of nuances and subtleties, you may become rapidly jealous if you feel that your interests are not being
given the attention they should. These feelings of envy can turn to bitterness and mistrust if you continue to focus
on them in negative ways without trying to find or resolve the roots of your feelings. Thus, awareness of where
you are heading when your mind takes off with potentially damaging thoughts is important. Take time to think
things through when you are not getting your way. Yes, you have a restless mental impatience, and this can lead
you rapidly on to other people, or subject matters -- but first see if the current situation is one which if resolved
to your satisfaction can be of benefit to you. Do not always seek ways out to new situations, when your good
maneuvering and diplomacy skills can be used to resolve the current situation to everyone's advantage.
There probably is a strong focus on identifying, fostering and implementing money making schemes. Business
negotiations should attract you for the pleasure you can derive by maneuvering people and ideas to your ways of
15
thinking. From this, when used well, you stand to gain financially. It is the combination of your charm and the
acceptance which others tend to openly give you initially, which is helpful in these situations. This combination's
energies help your quick mind with its ability to grasp implications to twist conversation and thinking around to
your benefit.

Sun/Pluto
The Sun/Pluto Midpoint strong by MWA:
Strength of character can go beyond physical size or athletic ability. When strong, this combination helps build
16
character, determination and follow through. When you put your head and heart into accomplishment, then the
energies of these two planets bring added force and determination to effecting and completing the lesson or
assignment. There can be an inner strength of self which rises at the right moment to take on and resolve
situations which even you may have though impossible until something, somehow, prodded you into action. It is
this arising of inner strength from the depths of being which is represented here.
Years may go by without this being activated, but when it is there is little that can or will stop you from carrying
out a mission or goal. It may involve standing up to a person, an institution, or simply agreeing to take some
education or do some travel that you have always wanted to do. You may think you can not rise out of
mediocrity, but these energies can give you the additional will to realize this can be done. Often the impulse just
arises, it comes from you know not where, but it does, and then people and everything else get out of your way.
There comes strength of determination and individuality which effects change. When there is a call for
transformation, this energy can be helpful.
Sometimes it is necessary to throw everything away and simply start all over from nothing but the idea that an end
goal must be met, and the old methods will not get you there. You plan, work, resolve, stick to it, and then
ultimately a completion is reached which others did not think possible. That power of inner transformation, the
purging of old which is no longer needed, the destruction of parts of self or personality which need to be changed
-- that is the essence of this combination.
These may not be easy energies to work with, and they can test your character mettle in many ways. But, when
you work using the strength and determination they can add to your resolve, then wonders can be achieved. You
may show a toughness of exterior, or you may have a weak physical body, but size or physical strength is not
what matters here. It is the strength of inner self and the willingness of that to do whatever is necessary to
transform self and nature, if necessary, to achieve a goal. People should learn not to sell you short, or to devalue
the potential contributions you can make. You may start out slowly as you assess situations, and you may make
some mistakes in the beginning, but when you know what must be done you can help gather whatever forces are
necessary to achieve success.
You may find yourself associating with people of low character: criminals, wicked or destructive persons, those
with much anger, hatred, etc. When this happens you need to choose your side, and then work toward not what
others put you into, but what you want to achieve.

Sun/Mars
The Sun/Mars Midpoint strong by MWA:
With this strong there probably is little left to chance as you charge forward before thinking through any possible
outcomes. Often there can be a sense that acting first and then dealing with the consequences later is probably
the way to proceed. Acting first, then thinking, can dictate your approach to life. There should be strong inner
impulses to impose your sense of what to do on others, shout commands, exhibit leadership, take charge, and
then move forward. While this can work at times to move situations or people out of static or stationary
positions, it can also serve to raise tension and cause conflict. Perhaps, though, you may learn through life that
setting people against each other in competition can produce extra-ordinary results. This can be true, but it can
also be wasteful of resources and people skills for those who can take this as a form of bullying.
Placing self first before others can become almost like a game. This inner competitiveness can set you apart in
life. Others may take it that all of life for you becomes a test of wills to see which person, you or others, can
come out on top. Such competitive impulses can be quite good in effecting progress, but they can also bring on a
reputation that you only have one way of helping self or others move forward in life. The role of ego, or the
emphasis on self and self's ideas can be enhanced with this combination. While this can be good, it can also serve
to alienate self from other parts of society when cooperation and help is needed in group efforts. Thus be careful
of demanding or seeking more emphasis on self and self's abilities when you may not be able to deliver on
promises made. When people learn not to trust your willful boasts, then trust in who you are can be lost. The loss
of such trust can be devastating, and take some time to counter with good will.
There can be a tendency to become a user with this combination. That is, there may be an expectation that others
should provide for you or for your welfare. Taking advantage of others may not be always be in your best
interests as eventually people will expect some reciprocal act on your part to repay them for what they have or
may have done for you. It is one thing to need a favor, and it is quite another to repay that favor when the time to
do that comes around. Not all gifts are equal, and learning what is appropriate to accept, and what may cause
you eventual problems, needs to be addressed. Think of a loan from a loan-shark at usurious interest. That may
18
satisfy an immediate need, but the pay back can require extra-ordinary efforts. Very little in life is given for free
and without strings attached. Thus when making demands, or setting forth dictates about how things should be or
people should act, become aware of the possible future consequences.

Mercury/Saturn
The Mercury/Saturn Midpoint strong by MWA:
This combination denotes a serious and disciplined mind, one which gravitates to facts and scientific proof.
Thinking is sharp and logical, as well as cautious and thorough. You are not inclined to do things or approach
situations haphazardly. You probably develop a course of thinking which has a logical beginning, thorough
19
development and comes to logical conclusions. Rigidity of thought or a focus on only one approach to a problem
or interest is not your way. There can be a flexibility of approach which allows you to very quickly see which is
the best path for progress toward your solution. This combination lends itself well to analysis and effecting
proofs.
Making an intellectual commitment and seeing this commitment through becomes important. There can be
persistence to your pursuits. Commitments may take you through many diverse subjects and paths, last many
years, an entire lifetime, or just a day or less. In any event the visualization of the original thought, its approach
and attack, your processes, and then the solution and outcome are usually well thought out and then carried
through to completion. Often there is pride taken in doing things correctly, and producing an idea, solution or
product which is the best there can be.
This combination helps you mentally to keep more than one idea in focus at a time. You have a mental
mechanism which allows you to divide your thoughts and focus without losing it on paths which prove
unproductive. Even through interruptions you continue back on your original way. By thinking out the path to a
solution before you undertake a process or project you are generally able to complete and perfect your desires.
There can come times when you become involved in fruitless and unending discussions with others who can not
see your way, or who do not share your interests in perfection and completion. These others may cause you
frustration and losses of time and energy. It is important for you to recognize when such happens, and then to
quickly cut these contacts and pursuits off before you lose too much pursuing them. Some situations simply arise
to occupy time and resources. These need to be eliminated from your life as soon as they are recognized as
unproductive.
You probably create a philosophy where simpler is better. Often the easiest way to accomplish a task will be that
way which requires the least effort. Therefore you may train your mind to seek out those approaches to situations
and tasks which are simple. This may involve re-inventing existing processes to simplify them.
A love of numbers, order and harmony often accompanies this combination. You may have an innate sense of
rhythm and tempo which attracts you to playing a musical instrument, singing, using electronic harmonic
combinations, etc. The clarity and logic of approach to problems that you see can lead you to analysis by
scientific methods -- but then again you may entirely bypass such because you see a simpler solution and path to
the outcome.
